I think to some degree it can, but there are issues.

You could reconfigure the column names and Quick Tag panel names, but the 
Advanced Tag dialog and scripting would work using the Mp3Tag names.  But 
scripting still uses the old names, I think, and the internal Mp3Tag names are 
used in the Advanced Tags... dialog (names can't be changed, only what they map 
do).

In previous versions, writing to what Mp3Tag calls "BAND" would write to TPE2.  
Writing to "ALBUMARTIST" would write to TXXX ALBUMARTIST, and "ALBUM ARTIST" -> 
TXXX ALBUM ARTIST.

Now, "BAND" would write to a TXXX BAND tag, which it was not previously 
possible to write to (because it would not create a custom tag - it would 
always map back to TPE2).  It is not not possible to write to a TXXX 
ALBUMARTIST tag, because that will always write to TPE2 instead.

Creating a custom column called "ALBUM ARTIST" is unaffected (will still write 
to TXXX ALBUM ARTIST), which is good because this is what FooBar2000 uses.  
However, writing to BAND in Foobar will appear as ALBUMARTIST in Mp3Tag.
